The AG's office says the Labette County attorney requested that the agency handle the case. Bennett hasn't been formally charged in the killings of 29-year-old Cami Umbarger and her children, 9-year-old Hollie Betts, 6-year-old Jaxon Betts and 4-year-old Averie Betts.

The bodies of Umbarger and her children were discovered Monday night at their home in Parsons, about 35 miles from Independence.

It's unclear if Bennett has an attorney. The Labette County Jail has declined to make him available for comment.
